the cli version of php does most of this. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-07 00:21:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I use PHP as a general scripting language, and some compile or runtime options would be very useful: - A no-tags mode that would have the interpreter behave as if it were always inside a <?php ?> block - Standard file handles predefined, similiar to $argc and $argv[]: $stdin, $stdout, $stderr - Quiet mode always enabled The following script is too complicated: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <? $l = ""; $fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r"); while (!feof($fp)) { $s = fgets($fp, 5000); if ($l != $s) { echo $s; $l = $s; } } ?> It would be much nicer to write it as follows: #!/usr/local/bin/php $l = ""; while (!feof($stdin)) { $s = fgets($stdin, 5000); if ($l != $s) { echo $s; $l = $s; } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11944&edit=1
